Jets' Breece Hall Deactivated Twitter Account Due to Threats, Negative Comments Amid Injury

New York Jets running back Breece Hall had to quiet the noise after some fans took things too far.

Hall told reporters on Thursday that he deactivated his X account because of negative comments and threats he received while he was sidelined with a quad injury for the last five weeks.

After opening the season with a 102-yard performance in a win over the Tennessee Titans, Hall combined for just 61 yards over the next two games. He was forced to exit New York's Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions after injuring his quad, and he hasn't played since.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters earlier this week that Hall is "trending in the right direction." He's been practicing on a limited basis for the past two weeks while the team takes a cautious approach with his recovery.

During Hall's absence, third-year running back Braelon Allen has emerged as a reliable ball-carrier, racking up 504 yards in his five games as the starter. It remains to be seen how New York will utilize both running backs when Hall returns.

The Jets (2-6) are facing a tough matchup on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs (5-2), so they could use as much help as they can get. Hall can silence his doubters if he returns to the lineup and helps the team end its three-game skid.
